touch metal. Connect
it to the positive
(+)
terminal of the

cable
to
the good battery's
negative
(-)
terminal.
Don't let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative cable doesn't go

the dead battery. It goes
to a
heavy unpainted metal part
on the engine of
the vehicle with the
dead battery.

18 inches (45 cm) away
from the dead battery,
but not near engine parts
that move.

connection is just as
good there, but the
chance of sparks getting
back to the battery is
much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
-the engine for a while.
